Summary

So many of us go about our days doing our very best and giving it all we’ve got as we pursue our goals, but instead of feeling content and satisfied, we find ourselves full of stress and anxiety. We may think it’s because we’re busy and have responsibilities - and that’s just the way life is. But the truth is it doesn’t actually have to be that way! Working hard and being responsible is good, yes, but striving to do it all, have it all, and take care of it all while depending solely on our own strength is exhausting. So how can we lead a full life, pursue our purpose and passions, and live our days with peace? It begins with understanding that no matter how strong, gifted, or talented we may be, none of us are designed to do what only God can do. The key is learning to lean into Jesus, to rest in his strength on the inside of us, and to trust him with what only he can do. This episode will empower you to pursue your purpose with peace by letting go of the desire to control everything and learning what it means to rest in the never-ending goodness of God.

So many people in life are just full of anxiety, full of stress, full of striving,

trying to do in our own strength what we were never designed to do in our own strength.
